Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (In the McLaren)
Mm, mm
She got drive like McLaren (Skrrt)
I can't help but to stop and stare
I ain't no grizzly so I can't bare it
Her lips graze my facial hair
I think I would make a wonderful parent (Parent)
All these niggas my sons anyway, oh yeah

I've fallen in love with her, that's apparent (Very apparent)
You can say what you want, bitch, I don't care (I don't care)
If she leaves me, her blood spills
So what? I would kill for love, big deal
For the last few years, life seems unreal
Words can't describe the way I feel
Uh, intimacy
Uh, I hold her closely
These other girls try to coax me
They're no good, you could quote me (Uh)
Fee-Fi-Fo, I'm marchin' along (Along)
Tic-Tac-Toe, three times in a row (Three times in a row)
Do-Re-Mi, I sing for her love (Uh)
Can't copy that feeling, no Kinkos
She got drive like McLaren (Skrrt)
I can't help but to stop and stare
I ain't no grizzly so I can't bare it
Her lips graze my facial hair
I think I would make a wonderful parent (Parent)
All these niggas my sons anyway, oh yeah
I've fallen in love with her, that's apparent (Very apparent)
You can say what you want, bitch, I don't care (I don't care)
I get fucked up
Run from my mistakes, I fucked up
I'm so sorry bae, I've done wrong
You've done me right all along
I look up in the sky, see your face, an obsession (Uh)
Objection overruled, courthouse (Uh), you're the judge now
I'll serve my time, bae, lock me down
I was flyin' 'til Cupid went and shot me down
These words taste like you as they come out
It's you I value, priceless value
I hope you play this on the highest volume
Go and show this to your friends, brag about me
We separated for a weekend, life was such a drag without you
So I don't understand what I was thinkin'
Nah, I wasn't thinkin', I was tweakin'
I know you gave me this chance for a reason
Girl, I need you
She got drive like McLaren (Skrrt)
I can't help but to stop and stare
I ain't no grizzly so I can't bare it
Her lips graze my facial hair
I think I would make a wonderful parent (Parent)
All these niggas my sons anyway, oh yeah
I've fallen in love with her, that's apparent (Very apparent)
You can say what you want, bitch, I don't care (I don't care)
Huh, yeah
I don't, I don't care
I don't care

I don't, I don't care
I don't (I don't care)
